In Perl, regular expressions and the substitution operator (s///) can be used to replace multiple strings.

Here is a common method for replacing multiple strings:

  1. Substitute operator using regular expressions (s///):
my $string = "Hello world, Perl is awesome!";
$string =~ s/world/World/g;
$string =~ s/Perl/Python/g;
print $string; # 输出：Hello World, Python is awesome!

In the above example, use the substitution operator (s///) in regular expressions to replace “world” with “World” and “Perl” with “Python” in the string. Finally, output the replaced string.

  1. Perform multiple string substitutions using a hash table.
my $string = "Hello world, Perl is awesome!";
my %replace = (
    'world' => 'World',
    'Perl' => 'Python'
);
$string =~ s/$_/$replace{$_}/g for keys %replace;
print $string; # 输出：Hello World, Python is awesome!

“In the above example, use a hash table %replace to store the strings that need to be replaced and their replacements. Then loop through the keys of the hash table, replacing the keys in the string with their corresponding values using the replace operator of regular expressions.”

Both methods can be used to replace multiple strings, the choice of which method to use depends on your needs and personal preferences.
